      Just a regular guy that was just kind of HIT with having to deal with kidney issues. Never knew I had anything wrong until I needed a transplant.

      Types: Kidney (Renal)

      Was hospitalized in January 2008 for weird blood test results. Found I had renal failure and needed a transplant. My sister donated one of hers in late October 2008.

      Treatments

      Cellcept Working / Worked
      Still working. Had some diarrhea at first from it I think but my body got used to it. Same does as the beginning 2 350 mg pills in the morning, 2 at night.
      Kidney Transplant Working / Worked
      Still working but I feel like I have a little ball tucked up inside my lower abdomen area.
      Prograf Working / Worked
      Working but the dose seems to be creeping up slowly. After initial boost I was lowered to 2 mg, then 1.5 mg a day, now back to 2 mg.
      Valcyte Working / Worked
      Worked. Haven't had any signs of occurrence after 11 months now.
